Standard equipment when taking delivery

   I looked up the Cayenne. Great tow rating at 7700 lbs. You should be fine, even with the extra battery if you decide to go that route. Just spend some time getting the wdh and brake controller set up correctly, and practice some backing in a quiet parking lot, you should be good to go!
Have fun!

	Thanks for the reply! My tow vehicle is a 2017 Porsche Cayenne. I just installed a Teconsha P3 brake controller. I have an Andersen WD hitch on order. I don’t have a lot of towing experience, but I will make sure to get the tongue weight in the appropriate range, and keep speeds reasonable. I had a Sprinter camper van for many years, so I am comfortable moving a lot of weight. Thanks again, Nate

	Don't assume. Let the dealer know in advance what you expect to see when you go pick up the trailer. You won't get a manual, there is none. Re the battery, this is a dealer installed item. Typically you get one 12V battery. If you are going to camp without hookups you should request dual batteries. 2 6V golf cart (GC2) batts are the largest that will fit. The dealer will expect to be compensated for the difference in price of course. Note that this will increase your tongue weight by about 70-80 lbs. You don't mention your tow vehicle or previous towing experience but you will need a brake controller and probably a weight distribution hitch. You should do a prepurchase inspection, there are usually workmanship issues on these trailers as they come from the factory. someone here will provide you a link to a checklist, I don't have one handy. Have fun!

	Hello, My wife and I just purchased a new 2021 196. We are scheduled to take delivery this Saturday. I will download a generic pre-delivery checklist, but I am wondering what standard equipment should come with the R-Pod. As it sat on the lot, there was no user manual, battery, sink cover, tv remote, end caps on the bumper, dump hose, black water flush hose, clean water hose, or outside spray hose. Can I assume all of these things were set aside and should be provided? Am I forgetting anything important? Thanks! Happy to join to R-Pod family. Nate
